Camber issues. Must have 2 degrees or better of negative camber in the rear.

Most all CLK's have some degree of camber.

Never have more then 2 people in my car. Will only pick up one other passenger, the only exception will be girls after the bar! Should be doing that every week anyways with low profile tires like that man.
